We'll sing a song, a soldier's songWith cheering, rousing chorusAs round our blazing fires we throng,The starry heavens o'er us;Impatient for the coming fight,And as we wait the morning's lightHere in the silence of the nightWe'll chant a soldiers song.

Soldiers are we,Whose lives are pladged to IrelandSome have come from a land beyondThe waveSworn to be free,No more or ancient sirelandShall shelter the despot or the slave;Tonight we man the bearna baoghalIn Erin's cause, come woe or weal;'Mid cannon's roar and rifles pealWe'll chant a soldier's song

In valley green or towering cragOur farthers fought before us,And conquered 'neath the same old flagThat's proudly floating o'er us,We're childern of a fighting raceThat never yet has known disgrace,And as we march the foe to face,We'll chant a soldier's song

Sons of Gael! Men of the Pale!The long watched day is breaking:The serried ranks of innisfailShall set the tyrant quaking,Our camp fires now are burning low;See in the east a silv'ry glow,Out yonder waits a Saxon foe,So chant a soldier's song.
